Tech hosts Battle of the Halls blood drive

Texas Tech Student Housing hosts the Battle of the Residence Halls Blood Donation Challenge from 2:30 to 8 p.m. Mopnday through April 26.

University Student Housing, in collaboration with United Blood Services of Lubbock, plans to increase the amount of blood donated by Tech students by encouraging students living in residence halls to donate.

The goal of the event is to have at least 25 students donate 31 pints of blood. Each residence hall will have one day to collect as many pints of blood as possible.

Students unable to meet blood donating qualifications will have an opportunity to volunteer their time with UBS. Students wishing to volunteer must have visited the front desk of their residence hall to provide their information.
